Keppra for social anxiety/generalized anxiety.

Posted by stann on April 3, 2007, at 11:59:31

I have been taking keppra for 12 days now.I started at 250mg at bed time for the first 4 night.I then upped the dose 250mg.So now I take 250mg morning and 250mg at bed time.
At first I felt a little better at 250mg.After the increase I started feeling more anxious/worried ect..It has been 6 days taking 250mg twice a day and there has been only a increase in the amount of anxiety.
I am wondering if I were to increase the dose at bed time to 500mg if I might get a better response.Or,would I get more anxiety?
It is strange because i feel not to bad in the morning,but after taking the moring dose of keppra I feel more anxiety.Will it get better with time?Should the dose be increased?
I sure would like some feedback on this.

Thanks...

Stann

Keppra is an anticonvulsant that apparantly can help with anxiety.I am not sure if it is available in the us.

Thanks for your interest..

It is here in the US. I find crazymeds.org very useful for talking to people who take anticonvulsant meds. Here is the Keppra list:
